Pics of your sticks!!

An exercise in overindulgence.

Bob, I like how your cigars always seem to have a nice taper toward the head. I assume that’s purposeful, and something that comes with rolling countless times.

That shape is what the leaf of the filler naturally wants to do. I hold all the filler at the foot (the leaf tips), then repeatedly tear it to length, and add it to the bunch. It tends to result in a narrower gauge toward the head. I just bind the leaf to the proper compression. To produce a cylinder I have to play with it more. I'm a lazy roller. Most old fashioned cigars (~100+ years ago) looked like this.

Vuelta Abajo Binder used as a wrapper.

One of my new favs, with a coro v and piloto v. The piloto adds a distinct flavor and aroma that I really enjoy!

Scrap filler in a Bezuki wrapper. Tasty.

First time in 5 years I've seen a photo of one of your sticks that's been lit.

That's great. Wish I'd taken a photo of myself a few minutes ago when I was outside in the gray drizzle smoking a 30RG cigarillo.

New WLT Olor wrapper ROTT.

Mine was supposed to come yesterday but the wonderful USPS decided to delay my package. What do you think of the new wrapper, Marc?

It really is very nice. Amazing. huge!

Marc, how many leaves per pound of the Olor wrapper vs the Olor binder would you guess.

I've smoked a couple wrapped in this so far, and I like it: in blends where I would have used an olor seco I use a PC instead. Burns well and doesn't taste bad, and has a nice colorado-tinted habanoesque color and aroma. My one misgiving is that I only got a 25% yield out of my 4-leaf sample. I was able to cut 1-inch strips out of those big-holey ones to wrap cigarillos.
